Hatsumago Premium Junmai Kimoto Sake 720ml Bottle

Crafted in Yamagata’s pristine valleys since 1930, Hatsumago Junmai Sake embodies artisanal tradition through its kimoto-brewed soulfulness. Meticulously polished to 60% using Miyama Nishiki rice—a grain revered for its creamy texture—this pure rice sake (junmai) undergoes a labor-intensive fermentation process that unlocks layers of complexity absent in modern quick-brew sakes.*

Flavor Journey: A delicate yet assertive palate emerges—tart raspberry nuances intertwine with warm cinnamon spice before a crisp mineral finish lingers. Its restrained aroma lets food shine, making it an ideal companion for both delicate seafood (raw oysters, scallops) and hearty dishes (roast poultry, aged cheeses).*

Why Hatsumago Stands Apart:
– Kimoto Mastery: Hand-stirred yeast starters create natural acidity & umami depth rarely found outside premium breweries.
– Food Flexibility: Balances rich crab cakes as effortlessly as light sashimi courses.
– Timeless Craft: Bottled at 15.5% ABV to preserve its vibrant character—a nod to its namesake’s enduring legacy.*

More than a beverage, this Yamagata heirloom connects generations through every sip. Perfect for elevating sushi dinners or quiet celebrations where quality matters most.*
